Born on February 19, 1942, in Bogotá, Colombia, Alicia enjoyed a beautiful childhood that shaped her generous spirit. She dedicated 30 years to Northrop Grumman as an accountant, earning respect for her hard work and professionalism. Throughout her life, she was known for her love of food, dancing, gardening, traveling, and her contagious sense of humor.

She is survived by her husband, José Cifuentes; her son, Álvaro Riaño; her daughter, Luz Mery Garzan; her granddaughter, Sophia Garzan; her grandsons, Cesar and Yashar Garzan, and Bryan Riaño; and her sister, Evelia Suanca. She was preceded in death by her son, César Riaño (1965–1993), and her first husband, Dioselino Riaño, with whom she shared 26 years of marriage until his passing in 1988.
Alicia will be remembered for her remarkable hospitality, her talent for entertaining, and her delicious cooking. She had a gift for bringing people together with warmth and grace. Her love of travel filled her life with adventure and allowed her to reconnect with her roots around the world. Those moments of joy and laughter remain among her family’s most cherished memories.
Her legacy lives on in the lives she touched, the values she instilled, and the love she shared so freely. Though she will be deeply missed, her spirit continues to shine brightly in the hearts of all who knew her.

  • The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

  • Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
